“In a simple crust made of confectioners' sugar, flour and butter is piled a hearty mound of whole strawberries that glistens from a sweet syrup spooned over the top. Then dollop with whipped cream, and that's all there is to this wonderfully simple sweet pie.”

I made this one evening and it was gone in a flash. All I got was one little piece :-( But that piece was wonderful and apparantly everyone else in my household thought so too. Will definitely be keeping this on my list of favorites.

This is a wonderful strawberry pie. I did make a couple of changes though. After baking the pie crust and cooling it I take 1/2 of an 8oz pkg. of cream cheese mixed with a tablespoon of powdered sugar and put that on the bottom of the crust before adding the strawberries. Also, when making the "sweet syrup" I add about 2 or 3 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice (just enough to give it a little tart taste) and a 1/2 pkg. strawberry jello. Very, very good. thank you Pat for a wonderful recipe.

This was really good, and SO easy. I was a little wary because of the weird gelatine thing, but this was actually really good. It is not gourmet, but really good and VERY easy! I am giving it five stars for how easy and tasty it is.

love the crust! followed the recipe and the crust came out brilliant. had to bake it for more than 15 mins though. *** greased and dusted the pan with a lil flour so the pie slid off the pan perfect. i did my pie with 1/2 strawberries and 1/2 cherries. great combo. except next time i would use more berries and less gel ;)

Excellent pie!!! Used whole frozen strawberries that I defrosted, drained, cut into halves and sprinkled an 1/8 th cup of sugar over them. Added a total of 3 tablespoons cornstarch into the cup of water and then added the sugar, salt and food coloring. When the glaze was cool I gently mixed the strawberries into the glaze and then filled my own pie crust. This pie set up beautifully over night. No drips or runs!!!

My big guy and I loved this! The crust was great, I didnt have any problems with it. I did use butter instead of marg., though. I quartered my strawberries, too and mixed them in well with the sugar combo. before adding to pie crust.

Reviewer:

great strawberry pie though i cooked the pastry for over 15 minutes, but still wasnt cooked. nonetheless the strawberries went well with the topping. i also added strawberry flavouring into the topping mixture. Thanks

I have tried this pie 3 time is the past week. I have followed others suggestions, but still can't get it to turn out. It always taste great, but never looks the best. The first time the filling did not thicken & I did not grease my pan so it stuck. The second time my sauce turned out great, but I greased my pan & the crust slid down & formed a big cookie. I through the filling in a store bought crust. I seem to have the filling down( I use the kool aid for color & sweetness) but the crust mever seems to fit all the way up the sides of the pie pan. The taste is awesome. Just wish I could get the crust down.

YUMMY! I love the crust and will try it with other recipes. I just sprayed the bottom of the glass pie plate and had no trouble with sticking or sides sliding down. I found the syrup sweet enough, and I used 1/2 sugar and 1/2 splenda. Will definitely make again!
